How to maintain the optimal printing quality?
The key to printing with the optimal printing quality is to prevent the Print Head from drying or clogging.
Always follow the following steps for optimal printing quality.
Follow the procedure below to disconnect the power plug.
1 Press the ON button on the machine to turn it off.
2 Make sure that all lamps on the Operation Panel are not lit.
3 Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, or turn off the extender cable connector.
If you press the
ON button to turn off the power, the machine caps the Print Head (nozzles)
automatically to prevent from drying. If you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet or turn
off the extender cable connector before all lamps on the Operation Panel are turned off, the Print
Head will not be capped properly and this will cause drying or clogging.
To disconnect the power plug, be sure to follow this procedure.
Print periodically!
Just as the tip of a felt pen becomes dry and unusable if it has not been used for a long time,
even if it is capped, the Print Head too, may become dried or clogged if the machine has not
been used for a long time.
